Food & Drink

Christmas is now just around the corner and chances are you'll be looking forward to a fair few feasting sessions. But if you are the type of bloke that leaves it all to the woman in your life then it's probably about time you swapped the remote for the saucepan (for a short time at least) and try cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

By giving her a bit of a treat this year, not only will you win a few brownie points but if you plan it carefully you should be able to nip off for a bit of footie or Ashes viewing whilst you have a stew slow cooking in the oven.

However, if the prospect of taking charge in the kitchen leaves you cold, or you're worried that your chef skills will be under fire from your other half, then help is at hand.

Cricketing legend Darren Gough has teamed up with Red Tractor beef and lamb to show you how easy it is to shine in the kitchen over the festive period.
